Rut beat me to it. After I did my first college game, the senior official on the crew said to me, "Biggest difference is the speed, right?", and I nodded b/c he was a D1 official and I was the new guy.

But the biggest difference was actually the intensity of the participants -- players and coaches. This isn't a part-time after-school activity. This is jobs and scholarships, even if they're low-level jobs and small scholarships.

Just ref the game (using the right rules and mechanics) and be prepared to be confronted intensely.
